That is a question I’ve asked myself so many times.
To Texans there is nothing to hate about Rick Perry. Of course, he’s done some things we didn’t agree with during the past 11 years as governor, but, on the whole, he’s been a staunch conservative, a good governor, and in spite of being burdened with an influx of illegals has kept Texas in good financial shape.
That influx of illegals, by the way, is not Perry’s fault but the fault of a federal government which just didn’t care for years and didn’t care at all after Obama came in.
But, like you, I’m puzzled at the vitriol that some here feel for the man. Even Romney is not attacked with the vehemence that some people show to him.
I know Cain did not like him but surely that doesn’t account for it (or maybe it does)
I've noticed that too.
If Perry should get in this country would change greatly for the better.
